EA app doesn't launch
Downloaded Titanfall 2 Today after a long time and tried to boot the game but the game did not start so i tried to Open EA application to launch the game but the EA application itself does not start. The application does not launch at all i tried contacting help and did all the tweaks they told me to do like uninstalling and reinstalling updating c++ etc. tried the clean boot method and everything but still the app did not open. The only time the app showed some signs of life was when i turned my wifi off the app gave a network error thats it. But once i was back online the app still does not open.
Origin to EA App Sims 4 question
Hi all! I have not yet transitioned to the new EA app because my very old computer’s OS is not compatible (even after updating). I had a Mac but am considering buying a PC this time around for gaming. Will my games still transfer? I understand the files won’t but I’m okay with starting from scratch if I can do it on a newer computer. TIA!Changing my email
I realized recently that i had used my old school email when i made this account years ago on xbox and now that i'm trying to change it i can't access the verification code to verify the email. I still have access to the account and can play due to it being linked to my xbox account which means i can log in on pc and play but i still cant change the email. When i try to contact EA support i either get hit with a bot that doesn't have a solution to this or with the page saying that this issue is not supported by advisors even when i listed it as an account update issue. I'm at a dead-end and don't know what to do.
EA App "Open on startup" toggle broken; no entry in Task Manager
Bug Report Form Application: EA App (Desktop Client) Platform: Windows 10 / Windows 11 Component: Application Settings → Startup Behavior Severity: High (User control violation, unintended persistence) Status: Unresolved Description: The "Open on startup" toggle switch within the Application Settings interface is non-functional. When the user attempts to disable the setting, the toggle either reverts to the "enabled" state immediately upon leaving the settings menu or fails to prevent the EA App from launching automatically after system reboot or user logon. Expected Behavior: Disabling the "Open on startup" option should prevent the EA App from launching automatically during system startup. The setting should persist across application restarts and system reboots. Actual Behavior: • The toggle appears interactive but produces no persistent effect. • The EA App continues to launch on startup regardless of the setting state. • No corresponding entry exists in Windows Task Manager → Startup tab to manually disable the behavior. • Setting the "EA Background Service" in services.msc to Manual or Disabled does not resolve the issue; the application circumvents this control. • The application re-initializes startup persistence mechanisms without user consent. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install EA App. 2. Launch EA App. 3. Navigate to Settings → Application. 4. Locate the "Open on startup" toggle. 5. Set the toggle to the off (disabled) position. 6. Close the settings window and exit EA App completely. 7. Restart the system or log out and log back in. 8. Observe that EA App launches automatically despite the setting being disabled. Troubleshooting Performed: • Uninstalled EA App completely. • Restarted the system. • Reinstalled EA App fresh. • Repeated the steps above. • Issue persists after clean installation. Additional Context: The application exhibits behavior consistent with unauthorized persistence mechanisms commonly associated with unwanted software. Specifically: • The startup setting cannot be modified through standard user-accessible controls. • The application bypasses Windows-native startup management tools (Task Manager Startup tab). • The application ignores service-level configuration changes intended to limit background execution. This lack of user control over application behavior raises significant usability and compliance concerns, particularly regarding system resource management and user consent under standard software transparency expectations. Suggested Fix: • Restore functionality to the "Open on startup" toggle to reliably enable or disable automatic launch behavior. • Ensure the setting respects Windows Startup API standards, registering or deregistering a startup entry in the appropriate registry path or shell startup folder. • Remove any undocumented or override mechanisms that re-enable startup behavior without explicit user authorization. System Information: • OS: Windows 11 Pro (25H2) • EA App Version: 13.661.0.6174 (106694-85bc9572a9) • Account Type: Local AdministratorSuggestion for children and children with supernatural powers.
I offer this suggestion based on the observation that mermaid children have nothing to identify them as children of the sea, aside from their mermaid trait at birth. Perhaps they could have the ability to talk to dolphins and manipulate water bubbles, or have scales appear on their legs when they enter the water in Creator Sims, so they know they are mermaids. Additionally, children of wizards could perform soft magic, such as changing the color of teddy bears, making objects float temporarily, or using a repair spell like adults. Fairy children are another group that needs some attention. They may not have wings, but they could have the ability to bless plants, temporarily create colorful butterflies, and have an animation in Creator Sims where, when they stretch, the silhouette of their future wings appears. Sim children can help care for their younger siblings by carrying them (babies and toddlers), helping them with flashcards to teach them to speak, or reading them bedtime stories. They can also set up a toy kitchen so they can learn to prepare basic meals when they're hungry (sandwiches, spinach and egg rolls, pancakes, cookies) and thus not rely so much on adults. Ofrezco una opinión basada en la observación de que los niños sirena no tienen nada que los identifique como hijos del mar, aparte de su rasgo de sirena al nacer. Quizás podrían tener la capacidad de hablar con delfines y manipular burbujas de agua, o que les aparecieran escamas en las piernas al entrar al agua en el Creador de Sims, para que sepan que son sirenas. Además, los hijos de hechiceros podrían realizar magia suave, como cambiar el color de los ositos de peluche, hacer que los objetos floten temporalmente o usar un hechizo de reparación como los adultos. Los niños hada son otro grupo que necesita un poco de atención. Puede que no tengan alas, pero podrían tener la capacidad de bendecir plantas, crear mariposas coloridas temporalmente y tener una animación en el Creador de Sims donde, al estirarse, aparezca la silueta de sus futuras alas. Los niños Sims pueden ayudar a cuidar a sus hermanos pequeños, ya sea cargándolos (bebés y niños pequeños), ayudándolos con tarjetas para enseñarles a hablar o leyéndoles cuentos antes de dormir. También pueden montar una cocinita de juguete para que aprendan a preparar comidas básicas cuando tengan hambre (sándwiches, rollitos de huevos con espinacas, pancakes, galletas) y así no dependan tanto de los adultos.
Childerns Account - Can't add as friend - "Couldn't send request'
Can anyone help me please! My 10 year old is on his xbox with xbox live we bought him F1 25 with the idea of myself playing with him on my pc. He's playing it offline and online and I've tried to import him as a friend through me EA app and I get '' Couldn't send request '' I thought I would log into his account put his email in and then his password and I get '' Your credentials are incorrect or have expired. Please try again or reset your password.'' I reset his password and I get them same again I don't understand what's going off what am I missing? Can anyone point me in the right direction please? We bought the game to race against each other and to make a team together seems a waste of money now! We both had F1 24 on my game pass and thought we couldn't play 24 because of that both using my xbox game pass. So that's why I bought the game through his own xbox account thinking that would work but no! Any help please?Account Shows "Does Not Exist"
Hello everyone, I’m in desperate need of help with my EA account issue—I’ve tried contacting support but haven’t gotten a solution yet, so I’m reaching out to the community hoping someone can guide me or EA staff can see this. Here’s the full situation: My original EA account suddenly started showing "Incorrect password" when I tried to log in. I thought I might have entered the wrong password, so I immediately tried to reset my password. However, when I attempted to recover my password by entering my registered email, phone number, or even my EA ID, the system consistently showed "Account does not exist". I can’t access it through the EA App, the official EA website, or any other EA platform—every attempt to log in or recover the password results in the same frustrating error message. This account is linked to my Steam account. When I tried to launch Apex Legends via Steam today, it showed that my EA account (the original one) is banned. This is confusing because I can’t even log into the EA platform to check the ban reason, appeal, or verify any details—since the account is "non-existent" on EA’s end. I have important in-game purchases and top-ups on this original account: I’ve made multiple in-game purchases for Apex Legends over time. All my game progress, skins, and top-up records are tied to this account, which I’ve been using for a long time, and losing access to it means losing everything I’ve invested. I had to register this new EA account just to post this求助 and communicate with support, because my original account is completely inaccessible. I’m really confused and frustrated—how can an account be banned on Steam but show "does not exist" on EA’s own platforms? I didn’t violate any EA or Apex Legends terms of service, and I have no idea why this happened. Does anyone have a similar experience? Or can EA support staff help me verify my original account, check the ban status, and recover my account? I can provide any necessary information (like purchase receipts, account email, Steam link proof) to prove ownership. Thank you so much for any help or guidance—this account means a lot to me, and I don’t want to lose all my progress and purchases.

EA App vs Steam Big Picture
When I launch EA Sports FC 26 from Steam, the EA App takes over and often fails to launch for some reason. I switch back to Steam and try again then EA Sports FC loads in the background and I have to minimize Steam to then select the app, or worse, the app takes visual focus but not input so my controller inputs are being sent to steam still - which generally results in me shutting down the machine accidentally. Please tell me there's a better way to do things with this app. I've read that having it load on start-up can help but then it loads its UI and doesn't allow to be minimised on launch. It's a horrible experience.
Would I get help build of my essay to allow me to get a full refund?
I feel lack of substance to get what I need to say in volume to be listened to. I want to break the barrier of time limited refunds to get what I can back into my control. I don't want to make avalanche, but I understand it would be very beneficial to lessen the power of digital and outdate consumer practices of not allowing our money back in full with no time limit. I don't know how to explain that, I don't want to be whining, because I know there's better ways to get across the need to take back the used money. A new foundation could there be system of a net to pay us back if you imagining like my be some kind of chord to be within the gap that prevents us having a full refund no matter the time, because there's be always a back up flow of money to allow the provider of an certain purchase to pay back when the consumer had enough and want to do financial reorganizing. I don't how that would works, but that's why I'm here asking for help on this with how I should say it. I will now share what I have tried to share so far: May I get a full refund? Life may not be doomed for Sims 4, regardless my meritable joy for the game. Not in haste, but if there's any possible way that Sims 4 gets erase in either way I don't want to be dinged. From my understanding from playing Kairosoft's Dream House Days. I do not want my money to sink with the ship. I could use the money used on Sims 4 back to me. +(I want to include this in blue to put my thoughts I feel should be added, without losing integrity. I don't not sure how to make this stronger, but feels important to me, like adding dimension somehow. things I don't want to hide or lose my underlining core that might be worth adding but not strong enough on it's own nor be left at the end. I think what I lack of know to say is how music works, so many different approaches. That I didn't realize were important, but catching on it so far since watching music studies I watch specifically on Encantos Bruno song and Jax dream song that voiced the core of TADC more linear than random like the theories that ignore the music for the it's just a show philosophy kind of thing) Digital consuming is getting more common for being one way, but it should supported to get full refunds no matter how long the purchase was made. Especially for retiring players of one reason or another, but not diminished for anything else at this point. Isn't that encouraging digital service control in the first place? To let digital transistion be on sided? I enjoyed playing, but I am 28 now and played this since I was 19. I enjoyed roughly maybe 7 years worth of playing as not a consistent player, but like my character growth needs to be on other things. + (Where else to Reddit should I send this post? I dislike being wrong and it gets taken down for the mistake before I could ever adjust myself. I feel like this is worth doing, but I don't have my own core to make this work on our own, but what's the point of group projects if it's not as useful? I'm just making a point with how I do remember when I was in school that this should be still valid regardless of age. btw, excuse me: I've tagged in everything to get seen the most)
Twitch rewards
Yesterday I watched the live stream on Twitch for about an hour and a half to get the rewards from the packs, but when I go to collect them, this appears and it doesn't go into the game. Its in Portuguese I can click on the button that says " resgatar agora" doesn't work at all. (CM: Thread moved from PT to EN.

I recieved a visa gift card over the holidays and am unsure of whether or not it can be used to purchase content from the EA app (specifically sims 4 add-ons). If anyone knows if/how it can be done, help would be very much appreciated. For additional context, I do not know the name and/or address it was purchased under.
